Hauksbee 103 Posted October 1, 2009 My copy of Computer Pilot arrived a few minutes ago. Guess who's the full-color, two-page tarted-up Sim of the Month? And it's not us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zoomzoom 2 Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Lame. ZZ. The undue praise for ROFL that is, (and yes I intended to spell it that way). OFF SHOULD get Sim of the year. Edited October 1, 2009 by zoomzoom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted October 1, 2009 Good one, Paarma! Is anyone here familiar with that sort of public relations? How do these other sims get on the front page? Do you have to bribe them? Or send them an OFF DVD at least? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellshade 110 Posted October 1, 2009 Typical playmate. All looks, no depth. A month later you're looking at something else. Perfect choice, if you ask me. Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stiffy 1 Posted October 1, 2009 I had a look at computer pilot website... only one article about OFF and thats 3 years old... dont take offence at this... but do they even know about Phase 3? I'd never heard of OFF before last month.. and then all i'd heard is it was an addon for CF3. i'm sure thats pretty standard for the majority of the gaming population. The good thing is though that i and i'm sure many others are discovering it when looking for info on ROF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duce Lewis 3 Posted October 2, 2009 Nice picture! Looks like it'll pull a lot of new simmers in to WWI ...and if history serves ...they'll be over here soon OBD oughta start burning DVD's for the rush! Like I said "Nice picture!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted October 2, 2009 Perused Computer Pilot one last time before calling it a night. On the last page, (Coming Attractions for December) they promise a full review of ROF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cptroyce 0 Posted October 2, 2009 RoF has had excellent marketing, advertising, and "sim PR"...IMHO. Whatever the value of the product maybe. Clearly they had/have allocated a budget for these sales expenses. With the amount of exposure I have seen on the websites and in magazines, it is clearly producing product awareness and probably sales. Customer satisfaction, however, is obviously another subject.

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted October 2, 2009 Advertising and money spent in that direction is always a smart move if you want to grow a product. But don't dismiss writing a letter to the editor of a magazine and politely asking them to consider another offering. Way back in June I wrote a letter to the editor of Combat Aircraft Magazine asking him to consider a write-up of OFF BHaH after reading Jay Slater's article about the Canvas Knights project. Soon after that Mr. Slater wrote me saying he would be very interested in doing an article, so I connected him with Pol who sent him the discs and info he needed. Long story short, Jay is in the process of evalutaing OFF for a write-up in his magazine, (and so far he is is VERY impressed). Sometimes it only takes someone asking. Cheers!

+Polovski 440 Posted October 2, 2009 Well we let all the magazines that reviewed P1 or P2 know about P3 and several others. If they choose to look at it or not is up to them. Also note other teams can have 30 or more full time people, rather than a few part time, and many dedicated to things like publicity, programming, artwork, testing etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted October 2, 2009 What a big publicity can do for a product can be seen at the example "Dunkin' Donuts". In my opinion, they are definitely not the best examples for American donuts. But everybody knows them. Anyway - I much prefered the donuts I got on the big American funfair here in Berlin, it was the Octoberfest of the American troops stationed here. Those where not so well known - but so delicious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duce Lewis 3 Posted October 2, 2009 I much prefered the donuts I got on the big American funfair here in Berlin Way back in 1968 my Great Grandmother came down to visit from Maine I spotted her at the stove tuning something in oil My mouth watered when she said they're doughnuts I was crestfallen when she said they're old fashioned (plain) I think I grumbled an "Ohhhh" Later she served them with powdered sugar on them Best doughnuts I've ever had Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted October 2, 2009 Yes, when they are really well made, you should try them plain, with no filling, and only powder sugar on top. Best is to eat them still warm!!! Oh no - my mouth is watering so much now, I must frie me something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
